The superstar recording artist and hip-hop personality DJ Khaled is doubling down on his South Florida roots.

Khaled, who began his career spinning records for the Miami-based WEDR 99 Jamz in 1998, has signed a contract to plunk down $25.9 million for a five-bedroom, 13,000 square-foot waterfront home in Miami Beach, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The seller is Michael Lerner, the mogul who created the “Baby on Board” signs in the 1980s. Lerner listed the property in 2016 for $29.5 million. Lerner bought the one-acre lot in 2013 for $4.95 million and built the mansion intending to live it in himself before deciding to relocate to Palm Beach.
